Fluxbox Install

Installing FluxBox on BackTrack5

Now if you didn't know this already, besides Gnome and KDE BackTrack5 also comes with a more lighter Window Manager called FluxBox, for more details you can visit their official page.
Getting FluxBox on BackTrack5 is pretty, even the BackTrack menu will be automatically generated, so let's get on with it!

First we need to install the flux-for-back package which will grab everything we need in order to get FluxBox running.

root@bt:~# apt-get install flux-for-back

After the script is installed we will see that it automatically starts to setup FluxBox.

Once the script is finished you will be presented with a message which tells you to start your FluxBox.

However before we restart there is one thing that we have to do, we will have to make tell BackTrack to run FluxBox on the startx command and not it's default WM.
